With an extra day to prepare for the next game in their best-of-7 series against the Canadiens, the Bruins – with the exception of a few players who came to TD Garden to fulfill media obligations, plus those who didn’t play on Saturday -- got to take Sunday off. The B’s will probably practice briefly on Monday, and then depart for Games 3 (Tuesday) and 4 (Thursday) in Montreal.

Noteworthy was a two-sentence update from general manager Peter Chiarelli on the status of injured defenseman Adam McQuaid, and a response from coach Claude Julien on the status of injured winger Chris Kelly.

- McQuaid, who hasn’t played since Jan. 19, when he injured the same quad muscle for the third time, was seen Saturday on crutches, and in a cast. After Julien was asked about that on Sunday, the Bruins issued a statement from Chiarelli which read:

"McQuaid underwent successful arthroscopic surgery on Thursday, May 1 on his right ankle. His expected recovery time is eight weeks."

McQuaid has made several attempts to return, and was skating with other injured players during the Bruins' first-round series against the Red Wings. Whether McQuaid injured his ankle during a comeback attempt, or whether the ankle injury is somehow related to the injury in his left quad muscle, which was originally sustained in a Nov. 9 game against Toronto, isn't known.

- It has now been almost four weeks since Kelly sustained a back injury in an April 8 game at Minnesota, and he hasn’t been seen on skates since. Asked about Kelly on Sunday, Julien said: “Every day’s a better day for him. That’s basically all I can tell you.”
